4.1 Fitting the cuff

1. Attach the clean cuff to the left wrist which is
free from clothing with the palm of the hand
facing upwards (fig.1).
2. There should be a gap of approx. 1 cm between
the cuff and the palm of the hand (fig.2).
3. Press the Velcro tape firmly around the wrist
ensuring that it is not so tight that it could falsify
the measured result (fig.3).
4. Correct position for taking readings:
Carry out the measurement whilst seated.
Relax your arm and place it comfortably, on a
table for instance. Raise the wrist so that the cuff
of the monitor is at heart level (fig. 4, position a =
too high, b = correct, c = too low).
• Relax during the measuring process:
do not move or talk, as this can affect
the results.
• With repeated measurements, blood
accumulates in the arm which can
lead to false reading. Consecutive
blood pressure measurements should
be repeated after 3 minutes pause or
after the arm has been held up in
order to allow the accumulated blood
to flow away.

blood pressure. The rising pressure in the cuff is shown on the display.

cuff. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse value with
